OfInterest to Real Estate MEN.

TOPEKA. kaS., Oct. 14.-The SUI
preme court rendered an opinion on a
matter which effects every county in
the state, and which is of interest in
every state. The question decided is,
in short, whether an agreement for the
sale of real estate is taxable. A very
large portion Of the real estate deals
are Simplify on contract or agreement.
The question arose in this county three
years ago whether the agreements
could be taxed. To test the matter
County Attorney Curtis began suit
against John S. Branner, and gaur-
dian of the estates of Anthony N.
Brown and Willie and Josie Klein, to
recover taxes ON an agreement made by
him to sell real estate to Samuel T.
Davidson. The case was tried in the
district court and it was decided that
the contracts or agreements were tax
able. MIR. Branner appealed to the
supreme court and the decision has
Just been given. It reverses the de-
cision of the district court and holds
that where an agreement is executed
to sell real estate upon conditions pre-
cedent and no notes are given for the
purchase money and 1t is stipulated
that time is the essence Of the agree
ment, and that neither the legal or
equitable title to the land is trans
ferred thereby. the agreement is not
subject TO taxation. The opinion was
given by Chief Justice Horton. who
says when land Ia sold and conveyed,
and notes given for the purchase
money, the vendee may be taxed for
land, the vendor for the notes received
for the purchase money, but when the
vendor still owns the land, and also
owns it cOnditionally, as in this case,
he does not think he can be taxed
upon the land contract.

CHICAGO. Oct. 14.-At the meeting
of the Youths National Home Society
to-day Mayor Roche delivered the well
coming address, and spoke forcibly in
favor of the movement for the anchor
alton of the condition of the boys Of the
street. He concluded by assuring the
convention that there were thousands
of citizens willing and eager to help if
they were apprised of the exact needs
and wants of the organization. Colonel
Hoagland of Lincoln, Neb., who is the
founder of this employment society.
answered the Mayor. There wer
one hundred males to every female in
our prisons, he said, and the trial and
conviction of each criminal cost an
average of $1,000 piece. We have
provided the machinery for the punish
ment of criminals, but not for rescuing
them from crime. He could give the
names of fifty boys who had been
killed while stealing rides in tramping
about the country and growing into
professional vagabonds. A committee
on permanent organization was ap-
pointed.

Deaperate Resistence.

LINCOLN, Oct. 15.-Some months ago
Fred Arndt made threats of killing his
divorced wife and afterward attempted
to execute his threats, for which he was
bound over to appear at the present
term of the district court. Arndt
failed to show up Thursday, the bond
was declared forfeited and a capias is
sued for Arndt and placed in the hands
of deputy sheriff, who arrived at
Friend at 2:30 O'Clock yesterday morn
ing and in company with constable
went to basement in the west part
of town, occupied by Arndt, for the
purpose of making the arrest. Arndt
refused to admit the officers or to show
himself and promptly opened fire,
shooting the constable through the
right hand. The officers were soon re-
inforced when a demand was again
made for Arndt to surrender. This
was promptly answered by shots from
the interior. Fearful lest they should
kill him, shotgun was brought into
use and, while in the act of firing, he
was winged by shot from the gun
which shattered the index finger of the
right hand and threw his pistol out OF
his hand. He then seized the weapon
in his left hand and renewed the battle.
Another charge from the shotgun took
slight effect in the left shoulder, which
placed him in such condition that the
officers sprang through the window and
secured the prisoner.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 13.-The excite

the Minneapolis Tribune on the morn
ing after President CIeveland's visit of
an editorial containing some severe
structures on the Administration
manner of conducting the present
'ftour for votes" eliminated tonight
when Mr.. A. j. Blethen, proprietor of
the Tribune, was burned in efigy by
crowd of rOughs. The exceptions
taken to the editorial were based
principally on the language used with
reference to Mrs. Cleveland, which was
as follows: "And it is extremely hard
to respect either member of the family
is a handsome, mature Wo-
older than she Is said to be. at least
she was old enough to have exercised
her own free choice IN marrying Grover
Cleveland. It is inconceivable that she
should have married him except to OBJ
tain the position Of mistress Of the
White House. Such marriage wGzzld
never have been thought OF but for the
astonishing political accidents to which
in the course of two or three years
brought MIR. Cleveland out of the OBJ
security, which is his proper
element, to the highest position
IN the nation. 1t Is hard to have re-
spect for woman who would sell her
self to SO gross and repulsive man as
Grover Cleveland: and with private
private social ascendaney. She is
now an object of curiosity
and remark for the gaping crowds,
and her photographs are sold
almost, IL not quite as freely as Mrs.
Langtry's. Such is her reward. If she
can secure reelection for Grover, she

One cannot help q pang Of sympathy
for her. but she has chosen her lot de-
liberately. ''.sAbout 10 o'clock this even
ing about 100 men and boys, mostly
members of an association OF the lowest
class of the local Democracy, known as
the Algonquin Club, gathered at a ea-
loon of q rather hard reputation,
and after drinking heavily,
repaired 10 seclued spot In side
street and fred the usual straw man

led by Mayor A. A. Ames, who Is the
patron of the so-called wide openn ele-
ment, which had control OF the city until
crippled last spring by 3 police COM
mission of Republican creation. Ames
was foremost IN the Cleveland re-
c6ption, and takes no pains to conceal
his self-proposed candidacy for the
Vice-P residente. After burning the
efigy the crowd proceeded to the
Tribune building and made further
demonstrations. but was finally
dispersed by the police. Mr..

Ell PAso, Oct. 14.-The Southern Pa
cific train which left here at 4:3O last
evening returned three hours later with
the mail car badly knocked to pieces
by bomb and dead train robber on
board. When the train had reached q
point about four miles east of Ell Paso
it was tagged and the engineer stopped
the train. Immediately three men ran
up and hurled dynamite bombs at the
door of the mail car. The door was
badly shattered and the mail agent con-
siderably shaken up, but he recovered
sufficiently to seize double barrelled
shotgun, and when the foremost rob-
Der appeared in the doorway the mail
agent filed him full of buckshot and
he fell dead. The other two started
away as fast as they could run, but the
agent fired second barrel at them and
thinks he hit one of them. The train
then returned to FL Paso and remained
there all night.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 14.-Information
was received by the secret service Of
ficials of the Missouri Pacific Railway
late tonight that an attempt was made
to rob the International & Great North

santa Fe Gossip.

CHICAGO, Oct, 14-The fact that the
Santa Fe railroad is pushing the COM
pletion of its line from Kansas City to
hopes soon to open its Kansas City
line is already influencing Southwestern
passenger affairs, and in that connec-
tion the affairs of all the Western rail-
ways. The Alton and Illinois Central
railroads, anxious to protect their st.
Louis passenger traffic, and the former
also anxious to keep as large a
share OF the business between Chicago
and Kansas City, gave early notice
that they wanted to withdraw from
the Western States Passenger AssOcia-
ton, that they might not be hampered
in making rates that would allow a fair
competition with the new roads. Then
came the action of the Minnesota s
from the association. Then came the
request of the Rock Island for
the sale of 1000 mile tickets at the
rate of 2 cents per mile, and now

NEW YORK, Oct I3.-United States
District Attorney Walker decided to-
day that the case of Rev. E. Walpole
Warren, recently called from England
to the rectorship of the church of the
Holy Trinity, comes under the contract
labor law, and that he will be forced to
commence suit against the VeStry and
wardens of the church.
The history of this case is in brief as
follows: Some months ago a Scotch
farmer named Cumming came to this
country under contract, and was re-
fused permission to land on the ground
that it would be violation of the law
against the emigration of persons un-
der contract to perform labor or service
in this country: Mr.. J. S. Kennedy,
society, of this city, en-
deavored in vain to get permission
for Cummings to land, and the farmer
was sent back to Scotland. When it
became known that Rev. Mr.. Warren
was coming to this country under con-
tract to fill the paStorate of Trinity
Church. Mr.. Kennedy notified Col
lector Magone of the fact, and demand
ed that he be not allowed to land.
the preacher landed. Then Mr.. Ken
nedy appealed to the Secretary of the
Treasury, who replied that the matter
had passed beyond his Jurisdiction,
which only went to the extent of pre-
venting landing, but that if the law
had been violated, it was the duty of
the United States District Attorney to
begin an action against Rev. Mr..
Warren's employers, and against
the captain of the ship which
brought him here, to recover the
penalty of 81 900 for violation of the
law. Mr.. Kennedy thereupon appeal
ed to the District Attorney, who this
afternoon made known his decision as
above. He says it is plain that the
law does not refer merely to manual
labor only, but expressly exempts pro-
fessional actors, artists, lecturers
and singers, and, as the Rev. Warren
is neither of these, he falls
plainly within the law. The District
Attorney intimateS rather poor
opinion of the law but declares it his
duty to enforce it. Mr.. Kennedy says
he has no feeling either against Mr..
Warren or Trinity Church, but that
he proposes merely to make test case
in order to bring an obnoxious law into
disrepute, and he writes to the clerk
of Trinity Parish, saying that in case
the church is mulcted in 81 900 dam
ages, he kennedy will make the
amount GOOD IN If

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Oct. 1.-THE
details of the screct session of the as
sembly on Thursday afternoon have at
last leaked out, and the reason for the
lack of press committee report is at
once evident. One of the iveliest dis
cussions Of the convention was INDUCED
in. The Committee on Boycotts intro
duced resolution favoring the action
of Master Workman Powderly and the
Executive Board in declaring the big
Chicago stockyardS strike OF. This
was the straw that broke the backs Of
some of the delegates from District
Assemblies "a and 81, of Chicago.
They came here with a feeling of bit
terness against Powderly and the Elk
ecutive Board, with the exception of
7. B. Barry, who represented the Ex-
ecutive Board in the strike. When the
committee reported as above
it was more than they could
stand. They offered substitute
resolution roundly censuring the action
of the General Master Workman and
the Executive Board. Charles F. Lieb,
made a vehement speech sustaining
the substitute. He said that the action
of Powderly and other members of the
Board had interfered in the matter,
and had defeated the purposes of the
stockyard employees. He said that
the only man on the Board who had
treated the matter fairly and who en-
joyed the full confidence of the Chicago
knights was T. B. Barry. Mr. Barry,
he said, had done all in his power to
aid the men and had he had authority
or had he not been sat down upon by
Powderly and the other members of the
Board, the strike would have been
won. Geo. A. Schilling, also
a delegate from District As
sembly "a, made very fiery
speech, in which he roundly scored the
General Master Workman and the Ex-
ecutive Board. T. b. Barry was called
upon to make a general review of the
circumstances and his connection
with the matter. In his remarks
he stated that the men would, in his
opinion, have gained their point with
ther that he thought that the demands
District Assembly 81 spoke upon the
matter. They were positive that the
strikers would have been successful
had they been allowed to stay out.
George Ehmenn, of West Virginia,
spoke in favor of the substitute. Gen
eral Master Workman PoWderly took
the floor and went over the entire mat
ter from beginning to end. He made
the statement that the action of the
Executive Board was advised by him,
and if there was any blame in the mat
ter, it belonged to him. The ayes and
hayes were called for and it was lost.
The committees resolution was then
passed by vote of 116 to 40.
